Liked because you’re sticking with it and that your Grandad’s on the mend. Keep on carrying on!

As spoken about recently, love the Vectra Ryan. In fact, I like the earlier ones more than the later ones, particularly with smaller bumpers.

The thing I love about these Vectras is that they do 'an car' so much more well than other cars that try so hard to be status symbols or lifestyle cars, then you've got others that are generally modified "cuz yeah man loik 🤘" etc...

In one way or another (mainly thanks to Red5) I've often found myself in Vectras. The first Vectra I ever drove was a 1.6LS that belonged to a mate's brother;

It was honestly such a nice and soft car to drive, something to poodle about in for a bit. I drove it frok Birmingham to Telford and back again, it was honestly just nice.

Some years later I after picking this uo for Red5, I ended having it off him;

It was a 2.2 SRi DTi. Sadly, despite how utterly clean and rust-free it was, I didn't appreciate it enough as I never gelled with it. Again, because I also wanted this which I gelled with much more;

Sadly this ended up with a knocking bottom end as I was told it's own engine might implode.

Still, I'm now back in a 'B and I love it. Its a 2.6 V6 SRi, sounds amazing (much like an old 6-cyl BMW)

Oh yeah, and my fave mod;
